Hamilton - Khaki - No reserve price - L616 - Men - 1990-1999

Hamilton Khaki Quartz vintage, a military-inspired watch characterized by a stainless steel case, black dial with high-contrast beige Arabic numerals and an olive green NATO strap. Hamilton, a maison founded in 1892 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has built a significant portion of its reputation through producing watches intended for railway, aviation, and military use. This tradition has profoundly influenced the identity of the Khaki collection, now recognized for its functional design and strong field-tool inspiration. The presented piece features a stainless steel case with classic proportions, measuring 33 × 39 mm. The elongated lugs and the bezel profile give the watch an aesthetic faithful to the tradition of military watches. The black dial features large beige Arabic numerals, peripheral minute markers, and an inner 13-to-24-hour scale, a typical feature of military watches designed to allow immediate reading of the time in the 24-hour format. The hour and minute hands, generously sized and with luminous inserts, are complemented by a central seconds hand. The date at 3 o’clock completes the watch’s functionality. The movement is Swiss quartz, a choice appreciated for precision and practicality. The specific caliber has not been verified by opening the case. The stainless steel case back bears the engravings Hamilton, Stainless Steel, Waterresistant 3 ATM, and the mark L616. The latter requires further verification to be identified as a commercial reference. The watch is paired with an olive drab fabric NATO strap, particularly consistent with the model’s military aesthetic. The aesthetic condition is good for its age. The case shows scratches and normal signs of use, especially along the bezel and lugs. The dial appears well preserved and legible, while the luminous elements display a warm coloration. No information is available on recent servicing or maintenance. Operation, accuracy, and current water resistance have not been certified. An interesting vintage Hamilton Khaki for enthusiasts of military horology, field watches, and Swiss timepieces with a functional and timeless design.
